( Q -L/ t)e LONDON, IIOND.A.Y EVENING, MAY 16, 1836, A illect;_: / g 'of the Protestant Society for the Pro tection of Civil anl Lawny was held on Sa' - ,irday last at the ay of London Tavern, Lord LERINCTON the Chair. The proceedings will be found in a,:iother part of The Sun. As the Society consists principally of Dissenters, the grievances under which that portion of the commuuity still labour formed a prominent topic of discussion. ,Some of t i des° are in a fair way of being removed by the nitasures now before Parliament ; but we are glad to see that the Dissenters do not lose sight of others for which no remedy has yet been proposed.

Marrie Atinrroßs—Thomas Pay, Esq_,. • David Lyons, Esq. SKCRXTARY-Jose Wells, Esq. BmixE Rs—Messrs. Wright and 'Co., Henrietta -street, C3ven I garden. Souciroas-11( ssrs. Pyne and Richards. The objec.i of this AssJc:ation is to manufacture Sugar from Beetroot * by a Patented Apparatus and Process imported from France % e the! have been in full and successful operation in the laxgest Beet-Root Sugar Establishment in that country. The depressed state of the agricultural interest of the United Kiugdom, the high price to which Sugar has risen, and is likely to advance, and the incontrovertible fact of the extraoadinary success which has attended the production of Sugar from Beet Root, both in France and Germany, have led to the formation of this As sociation for carrying the same object into effect in Great Britain and Ireland. The advantages resulting to the agriculturist in particular, as well as to the community in general, from this enterprize are very con- Niderable, as it will necessarily appropriate to a new and lucrative branch of agriculture a large quantity of the best land, the returns for which will far exceed those now obtained. It will be of the utmost importance to the farmer, in yielding a much greater remuneration than is obtained by any crops now pro duced from his lands; it will also enable him to raise and fatten cat tle at much less expense than at present, as the residue of the Beet Root, after the saccharine matter has been extracted, affords to ani mals a most nutricieus food, it being by the process deprived of its natural acid; and it also supplies the richest known manure for land. These facts, have been proved in France, in the Beet Root Sugar departments, by the experience of many years. To the public it will prove a security against the further advance in the - price of Sugar, which is to be apprehended from the exist ing circumstances of the Colonies. It may here be observed, from proceedings in the British House of Parliament, that Sugars have varied from 225. to 38s. per cwt., during the last year, being a va riation of 70 per cent. a very low average of which variation would be 10s. advance per cwt. ; the public are therefore now actually paying upwards of two millions a year for sugar more than they were formerly paying. During the last year the consumption of Sugar far exceeded the importation, and greatly reduced the stock on hand. From the present state of the Colonies no increased importation can be cal culated upon ; and therefore, there is reason to believe that the in creasing consumption will shortly exhaust the remaining stock. This deficiency may be supplied by Sugar manufactured from Beet Root, without iujury to the Colonial interest. The results obtained by the Beet-Root Sugar manufacturers in France and Germany are too well known to admit a doubt of the success of this undertaking. It has been ascertained that the lands of this country, and more particularly these of Ireland, are better calculated for the production and growth of Beet Root than those either of France or Germany ; and the art of cultiva tion in this country is pursued with much greater skill. As a further guarantee of success, the Association commences its ope rations under the most favourable circumstances, together with the most perfect apparatus and process which have ever yet been tried, and which embrace all the improvements adopted in France, where they have produced results that have never before been approached. It may be re asona bl y ant i c i pate d th the returns of profit will far exceed any that h ave accrue d from public enterprise which has been for m an y years prosecute d b joint-stock co-operation. The particulars of the calculations upon which this assertion is founded may be inspected by the Shareholders, upon application to the Secretary. The Directirs have already made the necessary arrangements for the supply of Beet Root, which was requisite from the ad vanced pariod of the season; and they have taken equal pre eautiOT, in providing suitable premises for the manufacture, em braciug every advantage of water carriage. The apparatus is in a very forward state, and will be created in the course of a few ,ntbs.

After this, and the declaration lately mAcie ll j Lord JOHN RUSSELL, that he thould consider the measures al ready proposed ;tip' the relief of the Dissenters, as very inefkiont, unless relief were also afford•A them in the matter of Church -rates, we cannet PH it moment doubt that it is the intentitmt 'Of his MAJESTY'S Mi nisters to propest the entire abolition of this obnoxious and del . , ,,,taxVing tax. Sure we are that if thty are not prepared to go this length -if thty have not made up their minds altogether to 'root out " the unholy thing" from the land.---they had much better not moot the question at all this Session. For if they were to proceed on any such trimming principle as that of robbing PETER to pay , PAtit —ifthey should propose anything short of the utterextinctiOn of the evil, they would lose a great deal of the popularity which they have so justly ac quired, by the liberal and enlightened course of policy which they have hitherto pursued. This, we think, is too great a risk to run, for a matter of little mo ment, in a pecuniary point of view, though of the first importance, when it is considered that the princi ple which excepts a man from punishment for his reli gious opinions is at stake. We may also be permitted to remark that nothing (at least within our knowledge) has occurred, since Lord' ALTHoRP's measure was rejected, to make the Dissen ters particularly enamoured of Church-rates in any form. The barbarous cruelty inflicted on Mr. CIIILDS of Bungay, , for refusing to support a form of religion of which he conscientiously disapproved, and the persecution of Dr. HA MPDEN, because he is favourable to the admission of Dis senters to the Universities, are incidents by no means calculated to overcome the reluctance previously existing in the Dissenting community, to contribute towards the wants of an ecclesiastical system which they believe to be unscriptural, and which they feel to be oppressive. j There is a correspondent in the Morning Post, signing himself " ZETA," who is but too much in the habit of inflicting on that urbane journal a column or upwards of most surpassing twaddle. Sometimes he affects the facetious, " for gentle dullness ever loves a joke ;" and when this is the case, we know of nothing which his jests so closely resemble, as the airy and elastic capers of " a tame elephant." More com monly, however, he strives to be serious, and then his earnestness never fails to call forth the laughter, which, his waggeries are unable to elicit. Fortunate scribe, who possesses the rare art to be as droll in his serious ness, as he is serious in his drollery ! This morning he strives to be specially earnest, and tide consequence is, he is as irresistible as LISTON or LONDONDERRY. He tells us, for instance, with a grave, mysterious shake of the head, " I have an opinion that Ministers , will hug the chains of O'CONNELL, and boldly de termine to reject the wise and prudent ame , rdments to the Irish Municipal Bill, which have been proposed by Lord LYNDHURST." " Wise and prudent !" What a wag the fellow is He is correct how ever in his surmise. Ministers will reject the amendments, " wise and prudent" though they may be. ZETA goes on to say, "at an earlier period of the discussion, Government may have contemplated a different line of policy, but the aspect of affairs has strangely and suddenly altered within the last fortnight. Recent occurrences—a sudden attack of the gout — and a sudden attack of something else—have rendered Lord MELBOURNE anxious to retire into private life ; and in all probability the third reading of the amended Irish Municipal Bill, by a large majority, will be used as a convenient pretext for his Lordship's retirement." There are here nearly as many lies as sentences. In the first place, Ministers never contemplated any other line of policy than that which they are now following up. Secondly, the aspect of affairs has not undergone the slightest change during the last fortnight, Govern ment being just as determined at this moment to render equal justice to Ireland, as they were fourteen days ago. And thirdly, Lord MELBOURNE has not the slightest intention of resigning 'the helm. So much for Tory facts, which at best are but synonimous with Tory fictions. As the witch in the fairy tale never opened her mouth but to let drop a viper, so your Conservative Journalist never opens his mouth but to let drop a lie. .He lies preme ditatedly, and with malice aforethought. If he ever speak the truth, it is by accident, and astonishes no one so much as himself. We wonder he has not yet thought of attributing yesterday's Eclipse to the evil agency of O'CONNELL. This would be a charge in exquisite keeping with the general character of his ca lumnies. As for the present Tory prattle about Lord MELBOURNE'S retirement, it is a lie so utterly absurd, as to be unworthy the trouble of refutation. No doubt the Tories believe that he entertains a notion of retir ing ; but this is the very reason why all rational people should disbelieve it. His Lordship is just as likely to gliit office, as the Conservatives are to enter upon it. He knows better what due to himself and the coun try, and will not be driven from his post by the scan dals of a Tory club or tea-table. Letters and Papers from Madrid, to the Sth instant, have been received. The factions in the Estamentos, opposed to the Government, - have been using all their influence to embarrass the Ministers, and, if possible, effect a dissolution of the Cabinet. It appears, from tl:ge reports of the debates in the Chamber of Procu radores, that, during the sitting of the 22d ultimo, Senor BARONA, Deputy for Santander, commenting, upon the statement of the Minister of Finance re specting, the supplies demanded for the use of the army, observed, with caustic emphasis—" That, if the Generals of the army were actuated by the true spirit of Spaniards, they would seek supplies in the camp of the rebels, instead of adding to the burdens of the people." This spirited rebuke of CORDOVA, called up Count ALMODOvAR, the Minister of War, who defended the Generals and the army against the implied charge of cowardice ; and concluded by say ing, that the officers principally interested, would de fend themselves as they deemed most befitting their rank and character. No sooner was this discussion made known w CORDOVA, than the Commander-in- Chief addressed a" furious letter to the Madrid Jour nals, in which he not only defended himself, but at tacked those Deputies who concurred in censuring his conduct as a General. ESpARTERo likewise ap pealed to the public in his own justification ; hut, as he spoke modestly of himself, and at tributed no evil or unworthy motives to those who called ,•his abilities as an officer in question, his letter displeased no party. Not so CORDOVA'S diatribe. The letters from the two Generals were published in the Madrid journals of the 4th inst., and in the sitting of the same day, Senor BARONA pre sented a petition to the Chamber, in which the letters were denounced as a breach of privilege, and praying that the Estamento would resolve itself into a secret Committee, to inquire into the means of preserving in violate the dignity of its Members. The Committee was appointed, and the discussion on the petition oc cupied the greater part of two several sittings. The Ministers were hard pressed to defend themselves against those who condemned the conduct of COR DOVA, and by implication, that of the Government in retaining . him in the command. There was no mincing of natters on the part Of "BARONA, arid thds2 whirl agreed inopilk With hith.. 14e frankly that In' his OPiilidn 63iirWiTA.- *at incompetent to Com - - tnand the army, and moreover, that were his abilities as a general unquestionable, his fidelity was nikliWpos - above suspicion. We ate Sokty for this attack upon Mini..?,teN 'e%Ncially as the ComMittce closed lts labours without coming to any iesillt f.k6l la t et to endanger their - existence 'at a Cabinet. BA noNA, at the solieitation of the Chamber, withdrew his peti tion; and mutual explanations and apologies between himself and ALMODO VAR terminated an affair which at first threatened to be followed by very unpleasant re sults. Had Senor BA RONA'§ prayer that CORDOVA should be cited before the Chamber, there to be tried— not for a breach of privilege only, but for incapacity as a General—been carried by the secret Committee, there would have been an immediate dissolution of the . Cabinet. Our opi n i on o f C ORDOVA i s so we ll k no w n that there is no occasion to repeat it. We wero among the first to denounce his intrigues with the French party ; and we shall only retract our former statements respecting him, when he has suc ceeded in extirpating the seeds of the Carlist rebellion— a feat for the performance of which Spain has his ho nour as a pledge. Wc learn that MEND IZA BA r, is now more his friend than ever ; and that nothing will in duce him to listen to any thing against the Commander in-Chief.. The President of . the Council must hav e reasons unknown to us for thus seeming to place such great reliance in the good faith of Cordova ; especially as he himself is privy to a sehenie by which the Com mander-in-Chief hoped to exchange the command of the army, for the Presidency of the Spanish Council. In the Chamber of Proceres, the opposition to the Government has been marked by a spirit of all but personal rancour. During the sitting of the 6th inst., the Peers, by a largo majority, voted a petition to the QUEEN, praying the suspension of the Ministerial decree for the sale of the national property, till after the restoration of tranquillity. MENDIZABAL op posed the petition, and contended that the sale of the property was necessary to maintain public credit, with out which the. civil war could not be terminated. When the petition was carried against him he took care to inform the Peers , that they had wasted their time to little purpose, as the vote of confidence which they had 'passed empowered the Government to sell the pro perty—and that in pursuance of that vote, and of the decree of the 19th of February, the property would be sold. This was certainly assuming a bold position, and we trust that the President of the Council will be able to maintain it, in spite of the ~intrigues which his enemies are carrying on against him. In the Chamber of Proceres he has to contend with fearful odds, if we may judge from the division upon this petition. When the scrutiny had taken place, it was found that only fifteen votes were given for the Government proposition, while forty-five were given against it. The Spanish Proceres are at once the proudest and the most ignorant body of Legislators in existence. With minds filled with prejudices, and entertaining the most ridiculous notions of their own importance, they are totally disqualified for performing the func tions which constitutionally devolve upon them—espe cially during a period of great political excitement. A Minister who would save Spain, must first deliver her from the direct influence of the pernicious coun cils of this body, by acting independently of its remon strances whenever its voice is found to be at variance with the voice of the people and their deputies. We refer only to what may take place before the termina tion of the civil war. The Paris papers of Friday and Saturday, received this morning, announce the remittance of six millions of francs from the Spanish Government to Bilboa, to defray the expenses of the troops. This appearance of full coffers in Spain was not overlooked by the fre quenters of the Bourse, with whom Spanish stock was previously not the most desirable of securities, in con sequence of the vote adopted by the Chamber of Pro ceres on the 6th inst., in favour of a petition praying the Regent not to sanction the sale of the public pro perty before the close of the civil war. There was also a report in circulation on Saturday, which stated that a battle was fought on the 9th inst. near Aretas, in which the Carlists suffered severely, having lost 1,000 men, of whom 400 were made prisoners. The Christinos were commanded by CORDOVA, who was present during the engagement. Such is the re port, but we fairly admit that we attach no credit to it. The next arrivals will show if our incredulity be well founded. The Chamber of Deputies sat on Friday and Sa turday, when the report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the way in which the 100,000,000 francs, voted in 1833, for finishing the great works lie gun by NAPOLEON, had been expended; and also whether an extraordinary credit of 4,980,000 francs demanded by the Government, for completing the works yet 'in an unfinished state, should be placed at the disposal of Ministers. M. DUGABE condemned the extravagance of M. THIERS, whom he accused of paying no regard whatever to the votes of the Cham ber, so far as concerned the devoting of specific sums to specific purposes. This was denied by the -Presi dent of the Council, whose speech, however, was not concluded when the mails of Saturday left Paris for London. Upon this .question we think the attempt now making to upset the French Cabinet exceedingly fri volous. It is absurd to suppose that M. TIIIERS could be guided by the votes of the Chamber in the completion of certain public works, when the Cham ber itself knows that the real object of the Minister was to find employment for thousands of disaffected workmen, ready to plunge the country into the abyss of Another revolution. It is unfair to keep the real mo tive ought of sight, and thus turn round upon the Minister when the dangers which he foresaw, foretold, and all but entirely prevented, are passed away. The latest accounts from Bayonne are to the 10th inst. General EVANS had not been able to occupy Ernani, and the Carlists under EGurA were advancing ',d defend it with a large supply of cannon and military stores. The Dukes of ORLEANS and NENIOURS arrived at , Berlin on the 11th inst. PARIS, MAY 3.—A pamphlet was to-day distributed among the Deputies, treating on the Political and Commercial situa tion of the French Establishment in Africa, The author, during four years' residence at Algiers, profoundly studied the facts which have successively ialuenced the state of the country. • MAY 14.—A telegraphic despatch from Metz announces that the Princes arrived at Berlin on the 11th, at four o'clock in the afternoon. —Mon/tear. Despatches, which arrived at the department of Foreign Affairs yesterday morning from Vienna, gave occasion to a conference between the President of the Council, Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, and Baron Werther, the Prussian Ambassador. Both their Excellencies went to the Palace, where they had an audience of his Majesty, Baron Mortice, our Ambassador at the Hague, seems to be destined to be very successful in his negociations. At one of his first conferences with M. Verstolk de Soelen, he was going to speak to him of the Dutch and Belgian question. The Mi nister interrupted him, saying, " Do not speak of that ques tion ; I know that you have not received any instructions from your Government on that point ; but, if you please, let us talk of tariffs, of customs, and of commerce." And Baron Mortier, who in fact had no instructions from the Cabinet of the Tuileries respecting the affairs of Belgium, talked or tariffs and commerce with Baron Verstolk. Some days afterwards he had an audience of King 'William, and attempted to put in a few words about Belgium, Limburg, and Holland. The King did as his Minister had done. " You are paying great attention in France," said he, " to iron rail roads and manufactories ;" and a long conversation took place on manufactories and iron railroads.

It was an actian for false imprisonment. brou&b_n George Pickford, a livery-staW.Okeeper, of the George I Aldermanbury, and who was, agthe time of the occurrence: stree m. foreman at the Castle and Falcon Tavern, Aldersgate against George Carpenter, a member, or about to be a tPe t her, of the legal ptofession. The plaintiff wag re:ttriii.nEeo_ kis employers from E Igeware on the night of the Ist_pf comber, and the defendant, with another gentleman) s tated y t tbe Havell were st an di ng in the middle of the pavement riol in born, near the Castl e Tavern, kept by a person n otoriotn -7 as.s l ; pugilist, Mr. Sp r i ng . The gentlemen wer e smoking tbet cigars, and had evidently been inhaling the fumes of somethinj stronger than tobacco. On the plaintiff attempting to pass the latter gentleman, Mr. Havell put his hand round the lamp ost, and said, go the other way ; you are nothing b ut a ca man. The plaintiff said he was as respectable as them. ti was then challenged to go into Tom Sprinrr's and have a bout. He declined, and was then taunted with'being a c oward , or something of that sort. At length he said, if they were serious he would go with them to T om Spring's, and fight either of them for a b/. note. The little one (Carpenter) at first agreed to fight him , but tl.ey both soon began to think that "discretion was the better part of va: lour," and a policeman coming up, lie was, after a good deal of rem e:'strance, persuaded by the legal gentle man to take the plaintiff into custody. Neither of the p a rties appeared the. ilext day to subs:antiate the charge they had made, and it would be for the Jury to say -.what damages the plai ntiff was enti tle d to, for the injury he had suotained by this unwarrantable impri sonment and detention. Mary Wilson—Recollects Tuesday that cember last. Was in Holborn about half-pa_st eleven on r night. Saw the plaintiff walking on the pavement before he; Saw two gentlemen standing on the pavement, talking, a the smoking smoking cigars ; the latter gentleman put his hand out to is , lamp post, and told the plaintiff to go round. The he oveDing, the Ist of Pe said he had no objection, but wished to know why ( " I ,__ stopped, The tall gentleman said he was nothing but a 111 7 man. The plaintiff said he was as good as he was, and then the tall one challenged him to fight. Plaintiff went to Toa: Spring's to give the gentleman his address, and on coming '3ll. they gave him in charge to a policeman. W itness saw bum' taken to the St. Giles' station house. Cross-examined by Mr. EARLE—DO you swea r that Pick ford did not put back his sleeves to prepare to fight before tbei went into Spring's ?---No, he did not, but the little one ( I ‘ ll. ' Carpenter) did.—( A laugh.) Did he take out his hands from his pockets, fight ?—No, but the little one came up in a fighting attitudite: and pushed with his breast against Pickford, and then pet.,, ford pushed him back, and said, " You had better staid ~ George Nibb, a builder, was passing by at the time, Al saw the circumstances as they had been described by the la s witness.

Witness went down, and the tall one said, man, take this man into custody." Witness refused, not hal ; ing seen any thing occur. The tall one said he would repot' or prepare to witness if he did not take up Pickford. Pickford offered to d b e.: posit a sum of money in the hands of any gentleman for . 1 : appearance in the morning. He said it would be a g reat was jury to him, and he would perhaps lose his situation be g taken to the station-house. He gave his name and addres but both gentlemen insisted on his being taken to the Static; house, and said he had assaulted them. Witness bro u g ht at to the St. Giles's station-house, and attended next morning Hatton Garden, when Pickford was discharged, no p eso') sF peering against him. John Rawley, Inspector of the St. Giles station, Pre utt ' l his charge-book. The plaintiff was charged on the night a question with having assaulted George Carpenter, 1 2, PaP,lerrt buildings, Temple, who signed his name and address, an' 5 was witnessed by Mr. Havel!, his friend. Pickfiird v; " bailed, after being in custody about an hour and a-half. Stringer, a policeman, took the plaintiff to Bow-street she tion-house on the night in question, where he was bailed. was about an hour and a-half in the felons cell, Mr. EARLE addressed the Jury for the defendant, and couni mented upon the exaggerations of Counsel for the plai a , relative to Mr. Carpenter and his friend having laid oeLit the law in such peremptory terms to the police officers, "" ot also as to their being at the time intoxicated. He ba,. c1 ,2 1 „ 5 - e produced one tittle of evidence to substantiate either 01 bi- o f assertions; he (Mr. Earle) would show, from the fa ct „, - r the Inspector having received the charge. From the ana ls ,; o which the signatures of the defendant and his friend were vin" - e g in the charge-paper, and from the evidence of Mr fl in :L himself, neither of the gentlemen were in the least intoxie l t He would also show that the first insult and assault had committed by the plaintiff, and under these circumstances ma ws a satisfied the jury would find a verdict for his client. Wm. Thomas Havel!, an attorney, deposed that be - talking quite close to the lamp-post on the night in questio; with the defendant, whom he had accidentally met. plaintiff came towards them in a swaggering ma nner, t he although there was plenty of room on the other side lam pavement, attempted to pass between witness and the i,P; post. Witness desired him to go round the other way , all",, h ' e turned round and said, " Who the h-11 are you ?" plaintiff then atteippted to strike at the defendant, and vilt a 7, - put out his arm to prevent him. Plaintiff struck acros s ar f e. ness's arm, and he believed, struck Mr. Carpenter in the aid Pickford went into the middle of the street, and seemed to in a fighting attitude. Witness said, "No fighting herea you want to fight Tom Spring's is close by." Witness said that to show that there should be no fighting in the street; " policeman then came up, and the plaintiff was given into ell; tody. The plaintiff gave his name and address, and offere d . 201. if he was allowed to go, as it would be veil ' ll. jurious to him if he was detained all night. Mr. HUMPHREYS having replied, - Lord DENMAN summed up, and remarked upon the adoil sion of the defendant's witness that he had invited the pitil e to go into Spring's to fight, and also upon the hardship of of taining a man (even if the assault had been committeas, h IS which there was no eviden ce ), after his having offerca name and address, and a sum of money as security for his appearance to answer the charge. The Jury found for the plaintiff damages 50/. This being the last cause on the list, the Court rose at ha lf. past eleven. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT.

A Correspondent remarks, that Mr. Wakley, M. P., in his weekly pamphlet, is endeavouring , to raise a violent out cry against the severe law in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposes to enact for the suppression of the unstamped newspaper fraud ; and the Hon. Member is, of course, cordially seconded by all those persons whose illegal and most unfair trade is endangered by the law in question. Now, we have no desire to see any offenders punished with undue severity ; but, if the Government cannot pro tect those who pay the Stamp and Advertisement Duties, from the abominable system of robbery to which they have for years been subjected, without obtaining addi tional powers against that system, surely no lux - rest man will say that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is wrong in calling upon the Legislature to arm him with the necessary authority. Mr. Wakley talks of the Algerine tyranny of the new Stamp Act, as if it were directed against the whole press of England ; when the fact is that it can affect only that part of the press which ought never to have been al lowed to exist. Moreover, the moment the publication of the " unstamped " ceases, the law becomes a dead letter. Mr. Wakley, some time ago, started a weekly stamped paper, called The Ballot. It failed. Will he permit a brother Radical to ask him a question connected with the `the present subject. Suppose he had succeeded in ren dering The Ballot a valuable property ; and suppose he was paying to literary gentlemen, reporters, &c., upwards of 301. per week for original contributions and articles of intelligence, while for stamps and advertisements he paid the Government about .500/. a week. Then suppose a set of people, under the insidious pretence of supplying the humbler classes with cheap information and availing themselves of the unpopularity of the " Taxes on Knowledge " as an excuse for setting the law at de fiance, thought proper to steal that title, The Ballot, which Mr. Wakley's talent, industry, and spirit had rendered valuable in the market to get up, in fact, a close imitation of his journal in every res pect —to steal from it his compositions on the very day of publication, and, paying nothing for original compo sitions or intelligence, and nothing in the shape of stamp or advertisement duties, suppose suc persons sold this fraudu lent Ballot for twopence, while he could not afford to sell the original Ballot for less than sevenpence ?—Suppose, we say, Mr. Wakley had been subjected for years to this system of plunder, would he then have protested against a law of only sufficient force to put a stop to that system which, if al lowed to go on, must utterly destroy his property? If so, then does Mr. Wakley's patriotism equal that of " the self devoted Decis." The truth is, that the proprietors of the stamped weekly papers ought long ago to have in sisted that the duties on newspapers should either be wholly abolished, or enforced on all alike. This is pre cisely the course which we have all along pointed out. We have advocated the abolition ; but the Government will not part with the whole of the stamp duty. It is really too bad" to abuse men for asking the protection of their property, which the law regulates in the manner they do not approve of, but which law they are still bound to obey. Dispatch. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Arrivals this morning—two French, two Ostend, one Dutch and a Lisbon mail by the Espoir, May 1, old date ; we have had May s—a mail from Vera Cruz by the Lyra, sailed March 26 ; a number of ship-letters from the eastward, Calcutta,. Van Diemen's Land, Ceylon, and Bombay, Jan. 23 ; Mau ritius, and Cape of Good Hope, Feb. 26 ; also from Jamaica, Barbadocs, Bahia, and Buenos Ayres. Jamaica Papers to April 1, have been received this day. They do not contain any news of importance. By Sydney Papers to Dec. 8, just received, we find that the tobacco crops at present bear the most luxuriant appear ance. In Van Diemen's Land the price of wheat, in pros. pect of an abundant harvest, continued low, in comparison to the late prices. It is now 7s. to 7s. 6d. per bushel ; bar ley ss. 6d. to 6s. ; English 6s. to 7s. ; oats ss. to ss. 6d. The sales of colonial wools continue to go off with animation, and at good prices. Cape of Good Hope Papers to March 6, state that every thing remains quiet on the frontier, and in the new Province. The season had been very favourable, and the appearance of the whole country, as to grass and hops, is most pleasing. New York Papers to the 20th April have been received at the North and South American Coffee-House. ( From the New Orleans paper of April 4.) TEXAS.— For the last three days there has been a variety of reports from Texas, but on none of which much reliance can be placed. Santa Anna's official account of the taking of San Antonio is in town, and boasts of having killed 100 Texeans out of the 180 in the fort. Accounts from Rio Grande of Feb. 12 have been received at Boston. The new President bad been rejected at Port Alegre, and there was every appearance of a revolution throughout the Province. THE SENATE, APRIL 15. —Mr. Kent offered the following, which lies one day for consideration,—Resolved that the Pre sident of the United States be requested to open negociations with the Government of France, as soon as the diplomatic intercourse between the two , countries shall be renewed, for the purpose of placing our trade in tobacco with that country upon a more liberal footing than the existing system of ad ministration. By Canton Papers to the 13th of January it appears that the Chinese will not suffer the Jardine steamer to enter the Bogue. The Acting. Governor says. "If the said foreign ship arrives at the Bogue, immediately open and attack her hull with a thundering fire, and those who succeed in knocking her to pieces shall be promo ted." (From the Canton Price Current.) COTTON.—Our market continues without any improvement. Cotton piece goods in moderate demand. OPlUM.—There have been but few transactions during the week. The market is very dull. WOOLLENS.—SaIes are being made at our quotations, but with little improvement in price. We have numerous arrivals this morning, both from the East and West Indies, but to our surprise they are greatly de ficient of intelligence. We are also disappointed in the intel ligence by the express from Paris, as it was generally expected it would have brought some account of the movements in the north of Spain by the British Legion.
